Authorities in Sacramento County in northern California say a man died on Sunday after a tree fell on him in his yard.
Sacramento County Coroner Rosa Vega told CNN on Monday the county has confirmed one "storm-related death."
Vega identified the victim as Chad Ensey, 41, of Carmichael and said he died Sunday at Mercy San Juan Medical Center. According to the coroner, Ensey died “due to blunt force injuries after a tree fell on him in his backyard.”
Sacramento County spokesperson Matt Robinson told CNN that at least 145 trees have fallen in the county since yesterday. California continues to experience intense wind and rain from a ferocious atmospheric river, causing flooding, power outages, and damage to buildings.
